These links are designed to help you explore issues you might want to focus on this semester. There are many, many more issues out there than you will find here, so feel free to consider any of them--the only constraint is that your issue be one having to do with the course topic.
You should critically evaluate these sources just as you would any other. They are not necessarily objective or thorough; they do offer basic information on issues for the simple purpose of helping you choose an issue. Once you choose, you will do much more in-depth research than these pages represent.
If, in your research, you find a site worth sharing, please add it either in the comments section or here in the post!

Note: Some links are to church-based web pages, but I am not promoting any particular religious views by including them here. Some are slanted to the right or (mostly) the left, some are fairly balanced. You should read them with scholarly sketicism and feel free to critique their claims.
